The revised and updated Second Edition of Adventure, by ExtremeTech editor-in-chief Jamie Lendino, details what it was like to play the Atari 2600 when it was new and exciting.

It was only last month that we checked out Intel’s Core Ultra 9 285K high-end (but complicated) CPU. Now, leaks seem to point to two more Ultras being announced at CES. If the benchmark results are accurate, it looks like both of the new Core Ultra processors will perform better than their predecessors. That’s what you’d expect, of course—but the first Core Ultra’s problems had us watching to see how the rest of the line would perform.

Built tough, packed with features, and now 27% off—the Asus Chromebook Plus CX34 is your Black Friday deal.

The advent of generative AI models has allowed us to create that which does not exist. Whether it's an image that came to you in a dream or ideas for a dinner party you forgot to plan, all you have to do is ask the right model. Nvidia's latest AI demo, known as Fugatto, opens the doors to powerful audio AI generation. You can provide Fugatto with text or audio input, and it will create whatever you want, even something straight out of your last fever dream, like a barking saxophone or an ambulance choir.

The Mate 70 series can run HarmonyOS NEXT, which doesn't work with Android apps.

If you’re still paying for cloud storage monthly, you’re throwing money away. Google Drive, Dropbox, you name it…of course they want you to keep renting cloud space, while this new platform lets you own the space with a one-time payment.

The engineered cells could help researchers understand how cells work together and trace the origins of certain illnesses after they occur.

Since it came online in the summer of 2022, the James Webb Space Telescope has observed some of the most distant and ancient galaxies in the universe, as well as the planets in our own celestial backyard. Most of Webb's time is spent looking for the previously unknown, but sometimes astronomers turn it toward iconic objects like the Sombrero galaxy, also known as Messier 104. Webb can glean new details even from the most well-studied objects, but these images also serve to remind us how much progress has been made since the Hubble era.

The young and distant object offers researchers a never-before-seek peek at the early stages of a planet's life.

Battlemage GPUs must be getting close to launch. Another Intel Arc B580 showed up on Geekbench only a couple of months after the first suspected B580 appeared. Pair that with Intel’s plan ( back in January ) to launch the discrete GPU line by the end of this year, and it’s beginning to look a lot like Chr- er, January 2025. We can hardly wait.
